IF we trade up, it has to be to one. Otherwise trading up really makes no sense unless we're doing it during the draft to get our guy. 

That's my take, and I'm sticking to it. 

We either stay at 9 and see how the draft unfolds or we say fug it and give the bears whatever they want?  Thats the way I see it as well.   Going to 3 doesnt do poo

Completely agree. If we trade the farm for a guy turns out to be Trubisky or Zach Wilson, this franchise is on its heels for another 5+ years. 

Those franchises had the right idea just executed wrong. They could have drafted Mahomes or Fields in throes scenarios and been far better off. 
 

That’d why it’s important you get your guy and you are right.

At three, you have a 67% probability of getting either Stroud or Richardson at substantially less cost in draft capital than trading up to 1R1.  If both are taken before 1R3, your consolation prize is Young.  If the new administration doesn’t like Young, well, that’s a different matter.

Thats the point though, if you are moving up might as well move up for who your staff thinks is 1.  why settle?

I don't even see how it's a question, unless you're willing to take the leftovers (whomever is left after one and two). I just don't see that as a viable or even realistic way to build your team, much less negotiate the draft. I kinda feel like that's only for Huddlers who are saying that we should just draft a QB for the sake of drafting a QB. I'll never agree with that. To me it's a nonsensical take, and a nonsensical, if not highly inefficient and risky approach. I call, "Balderdash!"

If you have about equal grades on Richardson and Stroud, i.e. if you are relatively indifferent to selecting either, you aren’t settling.  If the staff says that they ‘only’ want Stroud or ‘only’ Richardson then, yes, you have to go to 1R1.  I think you could win with either.  Stroud sooner but Richardson may have a higher ceiling but need a year of coaching up.

For me, the really nice part is that I trust the new administration to make that call correctly.  I’m just an anonymous JAG on the Huddle.

I trust the coaches, not the scouting. Honestly, we had exactly what we needed to get to 1 in the trade if we traded Burns. Trading Burns before his gigantic contract to get your QB of the future is a no-brained. That shows me the lack of foresight and a GM playing it safe (Rhule was gone).

Imagine the flexibility of getting to #1 easily and still having 2 2nds this year. Heck we might have been able to give up 2 2nds and kept the 2024 or 2025 1st and had 2 1sts in either year along with the full set of picks.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
